There’s more and more information about the negative impact of refined sugar and HFCS. It’s just best to eliminate stuff like that from the diet. I do like pure maple syrup on occasion though! =) Plus, it adds a nice flavor profile to baked goods. Thanks for your comment! And thanks for stopping by.

Thank you for the interesting post! I am working on using more natural sugar subs. ( agave, maple syrup) than the processed and refined kinds– I believe that you just reinforced my decision!!! I am taking a great fish oil for the heart health and to help with my RA/Lupus. I will be even more “pushy” to have our little guy go for the piece of fruit and not the candy. Thank you for the eye opener!!!

And I always love reading your comments. Every one of them makes me smile (or laugh out loud). As for spider sex, I actually took a class in spider biology and was involved in a Colorado spider survey. I was assigned to collect spiders at higher altitudes. =)

It’s amazing how some things complicate others. Of course, too much sugar compromises so many different aspects of health.

Having kids home on summer vacation makes for good days, but not much “alone” time, that’s for sure. I remember those days! =) Hope you’re enjoying lots of sunshine and laughter.

This post was fascinating. I loved it. And I’ve passed the information/URL along to quite a few people. As always, thanks for bringing such important information to the forefront.

I’ve been out of the blogging loop too lately. We moved and it’s summer (read: kids are out of school), and my days seem to slip away from me. Just trying to soak up as much summer sunshine as possible. Hope summer is treating you well.

I have to say, Nordic Naturals is my favorite fish oil. No doubt about that. I say, pass the fish oil and skip the sugar. =)
